2. The Adaptive Leadership Program ‘Being a leader is easy; the hard part is getting people to follow’ – General William Tecumseh Sherman. This witticism hits home with today’s leaders as the very definition of leadership is undergoing a transformational change. We are witnessing a fundamental shift from the command and control paradigm of leadership to one where teamwork and collaboration are the corner stones. Gone are the days when a leader could get away by saying it is my way or the highway. Today, to be a true leader, one needs to be able to use social influence and flex one's leadership style with diverse sets of people to get things done. Just as in the game of golf, where a golfer picks a club that is best suited for the stroke, a leader is expected to pick the style that best suits the needs of the situation. This day-long program introduces the participant to a true-to-life software simulation called iLead, where one has to produce extraordinary results by flexing leadership styles in a team setting.

Key Benefits Through this program, the participants will learn how to:

Achieve high performance in teams by using the right leadership styles

Appreciate the need to flex leadership styles based on the needs of the situation

Motivate and up-skill team members by identifying and responding to their needs

3. Leading Without Authority As Robin Sharma, the author of ‘The leader who had no title’ aptly puts it, ‘You don’t need formal authority to lead anyone; only a desire to be involved and the commitment to making a positive difference’. Increasingly, individuals without formal authority are expected to lead and make decisions that can produce extra-ordinary results for the organization. This is a tough ask for the individuals because leading without authority requires a fundamental mindset change. Unlike conventional leadership where position and formal power are the crucial ingredients, leadership without authority requires a person to use completely different skills to get things done. This day-long program helps participants gain mastery over the three main pillars of leading without authority: Influence, Commitment and Responsibility. This program enables participants to not just learn the concepts of leading without authority but also apply them in a safe learning environment.

Key Benefits Through this program, the participants will learn how to: Build social capital within organizations to lead important initiatives

Navigate the traditional power centers while leading without authority

6. Financial Acumen for Non-Finance Managers As organizations and businesses strive to maximize value, it is imperative that managers across the board have a firm grasp on financial concepts.

8. Technology Risk Management We live in a hyper connected world where the pace of change is relentless, impermanence is the norm and there is an ever-increasing problem of signal vs. noise. Given that today we are completely dependent on IT for day-to-day operations, the cost of IT breakdown is unimaginably high.

9. Managing Technology Transformations In the last decade, we have witnessed some fundamental transformations in business. Digitization of business has ushered in innovative business models, business processes, and organizational structures. Not all companies, however, have been able to successfully cross the chasm between the old and the new paradigms. A big reason why many companies fall by the wayside, despite their intent to adopt the new paradigm, is the lack of understanding of the dynamics of technology transformations.

The ‘Managing Technology Transformations’ program equips participants with strategic frameworks that help them focus on the right transformations for an organization. It also provides tools and techniques to govern transformations. The day-long program helps participants deal with the people aspect of the transformation process through award winning software simulations namely ChangeQuest and GovernIT, where the participant brings in a transformational change in an organization and tries to overcome the organizational obstacles.

technology policies

14. Achieving Excellence in Strategy Execution There are two key things a leader influences when it comes to producing results: Strategy and Execution. Leaders across the board seem to agree that the strategic formulation process is a lot easier than execution. The reason being, the first requires mainly a stroke of a pen or the click of a mouse, while the second requires behavioral change.
